    she had too much to do to sit around smiling for photographs. and who's arm is she holding on to? maybe that's why she's looking so gloomy. son dropped in on his way to or from where? holding on to him before he goes again. no too small an arm. a grandson.

    Yeah, you right Kristin, Miss Hager had too much to do. I don't expect a cheese grin but I would like to see something in her face that told me she had a little piece of happiness in her life. Her father denied her, her man couldn't do a full day labor and the pension he received was cashed and stolen before he got to her. Life ain't fair.

      It is likely they are related. The surname is uncommon for the area.
